2 And a certain centurion's servant who was dear unto him was sick and ready to die 3 And when he heard of Jesus he sent unto him the elders of the Jews beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant 4 And when they came to Jesus they besought him instantly saying That he was worthy for whom he should do this 5 For he loveth our nation and he hath built us a synagogue 6 Then Jesus went with them And when he was now not far from the house the centurion sent friends to him saying unto him Lord trouble not thyself for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee but say in a word and my servant shall be healed 8 For I also am a man set under authority having under me soldiers and I say unto one Go and he goeth and to another Come and he cometh and to my servant Do this and he doeth it 9 When Jesus heard these things he marvelled at him and turned him about and said unto the people that followed him I say unto you I have not found so great faith no not in Israel 10 And they that were sent returning to the house found the servant whole that had been sick
11 And it came to pass __ the day after that he went into a city called Nain and many of his disciples went with him and much people 12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city behold __ there was a dead man carried out the only son of his mother and she was a widow and much people of the city was with her 13 And when the Lord saw her he had compassion on her and said unto her Weep not 14 And he came and touched the bier and they that bare him stood still And he said Young man I say unto thee Arise 15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak And he delivered him to his mother 16 And there came a fear on all and they glorified God saying That a great prophet is risen up among us and That God hath visited his people 17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea and throughout all the region round about
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things 19 And John calling unto him two __ of his disciples sent them to Jesus saying Art thou he that should come or look we for another 20 When the men were come unto him they said John Baptist hath sent us unto thee saying Art thou he that should come or look we for another 21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues and of evil spirits and unto many that were blind he gave sight 22 Then Jesus answering said unto them Go your way and tell John what things ye have seen and heard how that the blind see the lame walk the lepers are cleansed the deaf hear the dead are raised to the poor the gospel is preached 23 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me
24 And when the messengers of John were departed he began to speak unto the people concerning John What went ye out into the wilderness for to see A reed shaken with the wind 25 But what went ye out for to see A man clothed in soft raiment Behold they which are gorgeously apparelled and live delicately are in kings' courts 26 But what went ye out for to see A prophet Yea I say unto you and much more than a prophet
27 This is he of whom it is written Behold I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee
28 For I say unto you Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he 29 And all the people that heard him and the publicans justified God being baptized with the baptism of John 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves being not baptized of him
31 And the Lord said Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation and to what are they like 32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace and calling one to another and saying We have piped unto you and ye have not danced we have mourned to you and ye have not wept 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine and ye say He hath a devil 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking and ye say Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber a friend of publicans and sinners 35 But wisdom is justified of all her children
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him And he went into the Pharisee's house and sat down to meat 37 And behold a woman in the city which was a sinner when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house brought an alabaster box of ointment 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping and began to wash his feet with tears and did wipe them with the hairs of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment 39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it he spake within himself saying This man if he were a prophet __ would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him for she is a sinner
40 And Jesus answering said unto him Simon I have somewhat to say unto thee And he saith Master say on 41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors the one owed five hundred pence and the other fifty 42 And when they had nothing to pay he frankly forgave them both Tell me therefore which of them will love him most 43 Simon answered and said I suppose that he to whom he forgave most And he said unto him Thou hast rightly judged 44 And he turned to the woman and said unto Simon Seest thou this woman I entered into thine house thou gavest me no water for my feet but she __ hath washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head 45 Thou gavest me no kiss but this woman __ since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint but this woman __ hath anointed my feet with ointment 47 Wherefore __ I say unto thee Her sins which are many are forgiven for she loved much but to whom little is forgiven the same loveth little 48 And he said unto her Thy sins are forgiven 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves Who is this that forgiveth sins also 50 And he said to the woman Thy faith hath saved thee go in peace
